Business Spirit is a level 51 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you help Klingon scientists with material research. It starts at warp 1 but needs warp 205 to complete, with stops at the research station in tIn jIb and at Belmont. Midway you choose how to handle a band of scrappers: fight 10 hostiles or pay 5,000 5★ Ore. Both paths pay 214,650,000 Tritanium, with either Premium Recruit Tokens or a Peace Shield on top. The Tritanium makes it one of the better payouts at this level.
Business Spirit objectives
Everyone starts with the same two steps:
- Go to the research station. Location: tIn jIb.
- Find the raw materials. Location: Belmont.
- How should we deal with the scrappers?
Scrappers are working the site when you arrive in Belmont, and the mission splits on how you get rid of them.
Fight the scrappers
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 50 or higher.
- Return to the research station. Location: tIn jIb.
Rewards for this path: 214,650,000 Tritanium and 500 Premium Recruit Tokens.
Pay the scrappers
- Pay 5000 5★ Ore.
- Return to the research station. Location: tIn jIb.
Rewards for this path: 214,650,000 Tritanium and a 1 Day Peace Shield.
Where and what warp
You can accept Business Spirit from your station at warp 1. Warp 205 is needed to complete it, because tIn jIb and Belmont are both far out.
The recommended level is 51, and the fighting path asks for hostiles of level 50 or higher, so the combat is pitched right at that level.
Business Spirit rewards
| Choice | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Fight the scrappers | 214,650,000 Tritanium, 500 Premium Recruit Tokens |
| Pay the scrappers | 214,650,000 Tritanium, 1 1 Day Peace Shield |
Completing either path unlocks True Strength.
Missions before and after
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pursuits of the Mind (before) | 51 | 205 | 5,000 Latinum, 6,729,167,000 Parsteel, 2,500 Ship XP |
| Business Spirit | 51 | 205 | 214,650,000 Tritanium plus a choice reward |
| True Strength (after) | 51 | 185 | 36,750,000 Dilithium, 368,000 Officer XP |
The three missions pay one base resource each: Parsteel, then Tritanium, then Dilithium. Running them in order covers all three.
Tips
Choose by what is cheaper for you. If you have a ship that clears level 50 hostiles quickly, fighting keeps your 5★ Ore and adds 500 Premium Recruit Tokens. If 5★ Ore is plentiful and your fleet is busy, paying skips the ten fights and still gives the full Tritanium.
The Peace Shield from the paying path is worth having in reserve for when you need to protect your station during a long upgrade.
Both paths finish back at tIn jIb, so the research station is visited twice. Plan fuel and travel time for the return leg after Belmont.
